Sažetak
The paper discusses the main geo-political factors that influenced the Ragusan government in formulation of their defensive policy. The emphasis of the paper is that the Ragusan Republic although nominally neutral state, due to its position in a very hostile environment, in spite of its limited material resources, maintained its defensive system that quite successfully met the test of time.The paper explores the main features of this defensive system in relation to the challanges it was designed to met, and argues that the seen from the military perspective, the real military value of Ragusa lied not in its effective military force, but rather in its military facilities and stocks of war materials.
